Your child is bringing home today the Science Fair Boot Camp materials that include a packet of directions, examples, and a data sheet.  Also in the bag are the test tubes, nails, and a plastic cup.  All the directions and procedures have been discussed with your child. We discussed other possible clear liquids, and we discussed words that may be used on the data sheets. We talked about ideas for the question and how to write the hypothesis. Be sure to have your child determine the question and the hypothesis before gathering data.  Remind your child to complete the data sheets in pencil first before adding color when needed.  Your child will make 4 observations.   The data needs to be edited for correct spelling, etc. as it will be displayed.  Remember that the lids may not be removed once the liquids have been added. There are no extra materials, so  remind your child to be careful with them.  The display boards will be sent home next week.Thanks to all who have turned in the science fair donation.  Please send in your donation when possible if you haven’t yet.  Happy experimenting!
